Notes and Highlights:

02/10/2010 – UMBC closure: As you all know we have been hammered pretty hard by the snow and UMBC has been closed for several days. I want to setup a plan so that you can continue studying efficiently during this period. I have sent a message to each student with instructions on how we will continue this course. If you have not received my message, please send me an e-mail and I will add you to the list.
